Nappy Girl Kitchen | Application Preview
Nappy Girl Kitchen is applying for government grants to fund the purchase of a food truck that will support catering services and enhance its virtual cooking classes aimed at budget-conscious communities. The classes, structured over three days, will cover kitchen theory, recipe interpretation, and culinary skills mastery, culminating in a graduation ceremony.
The proposed budget includes expenses for a six-month lease, insurance, curriculum packets, cooking utensils, food inventory, and administrative costs, totaling over $20,000. The funding will also help in acquiring necessary tools like cameras and printing supplies.
Nappy Girl Kitchen aims to grow its business over five years through networking, advertising, and educational outreach. It addresses a pressing issue in Kentucky, where a lack of cooking education contributes to high obesity rates. The food truck will not only provide affordable catering for events but will also serve as a platform to promote healthier cooking options and education, particularly targeting underserved communities.
The business faces competition from organizations like Cooking Matters and the Salvation Army but distinguishes itself by offering comprehensive graduation packages, including essential cooking tools and certification. The grant approval will enable Nappy Girl Kitchen to make a significant impact on community health and culinary skills in Kentucky.

Business Plan
I plan to grow my business in 5 years by continuing to network, advertisement through social media, television, organizations, referrals, learn the business even better by shadowing, and traveling. This will grow Nappy Girl Kitchen (NGK) if I apply all of these tools and remaining organized and being proactive with time management Investors should invest in NGK because there are very few resources in the communities in Kentucky that offer virtual cooking on a budget and keeping health and wellness in mind. Kentucky is ranked 5th in the nation for adult obesity. The problem in Kentucky is lack of education of home cooking skills. There are more families that eat processed food, and fast-food in KY than there are home cooked meals. This has sky rocketed obesity in KY. There is a lack of home cooking resources and services offered to the community. There are even fewer free resources and services offered to young adults. Investors should see NGK as an opportunity to change some of Kentucky's bad eating habits by providing a free virtual cooking service. NGK food truck will offer catering on a budget for events such as weddings, parties, anniversaries, and company meetings. NGK Food truck will also travel around the states to different events and advertise Kentucky as a equal opportunity state for minorities seeking a better career opportunities
